Samsung announces Galaxy Z Flip5 Maison Margiela edition: Check features
Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip5 Maison Margiela Edition smartphone, in collaboration with the renowned French fashion house Maison Margiela. The handset is the second partnership between Samsung and Maison Margiela, after last year's Galaxy Z Flip4. The device joins last month's Galaxy Z Flip5 Retro, Flip5 Special Color Edition, and the Limited BTS Edition. The specifications are largely identical to the standard model. Additionally, it comes with a Type-C to Type-C Cable and a 25W charger.
Distinctive design and rear glass
The Galaxy Z Flip5 Maison Margiela Edition features an attractive design on its rear glass, exposing the inner structure of a Maison Margiela jacket, highlighted by silver and metallic accents. The semi-transparent effect showcases the device's components. The smartphone comes with a unique retail box that has a distinct stitching pattern and includes special in-box contents. The accessories include a Flap Leather Case, a Flipsuit Case, and two Flipsuit Cards.
New theme for the Flex Window
The Flap Leather Case is made from natural black leather and has been handwoven. It will show a pocket pattern when opening the device. Flipsuit Cards adorn a paint-splatter design and a silver plate and showcase Maison Margiela's unique numbering design. When users attach these cards to the back of Flip5, the phone will reveal a new theme which can also be seen on the Flex Window.
